Default Re: LSAT Improvement on Reading Comp

Practice Reading
The best thing you can do to pick up your reading abilities and speed is to practice. You should focus on short articles of complex subject matter, similar to that which you will discover on the LSAT.

2. Focus
When you read a novel in bed or an article in a cheap magazine you will sometimes discover that your mind is nomadic.

3. Use the other half of your brain
One way to keep focus is to employ the other half of your brain while you read.


4. Make notes on the article
As you read the article, mark it up. Circle, underline, box, draw arrows and stars. Develop your own system for how you will mark up an article or use ours (explained in full in the online LSAT prep course). Usually you want to be marking up your sight point and key characters, the author’s views, the main point, transitions or changes in direction or tone and any key words that help you focus on the structure or content of the article.

5. Explain it to someone else
After you read, take the time to explain the article to someone else. This forces you to recall what you read, to sum up it in a meaningful way and to examine it as you discuss and explain the article.
